‘It’s like coming back home’: Thuli Phongolo returns to ‘Generations: The Legacy’

Actress and DJ Thuli Phongolo is set to make her long-awaited return to Generations: The Legacy.

SABC1 and the show’s production company, Morula Pictures, have confirmed that Phongolo will make her first appearance later this month, on 25 April.

Speaking about her return, the DJ and actress said she is looking forward to bringing new energy to Namhla’s journey.

“Returning to Generations: The Legacy feels like coming back home. I’m excited to reconnect with the cast, crew and fans and to bring new energy to my character’s journey,” she added.

According to the statement, Namhla returns a changed woman — no longer the shy, awkward teen she once was. Life abroad has made her confident, worldly and ambitious. She believes her father, Jack, can give her the big life she craves.
